Sauk Valley Mastercard ® Debit Card with Chip Technology

Introducing Chip Cards with enhanced security for your debit card

To provide an additional layer of protection, Sauk Valley Bank has invested in chip technology for all consumer and business debit cards. Not only does the chip provide more security, but it also allows for wider international acceptance.

A microchip embedded in the card adds a layer of protection against fraud for purchases made at a point-of-sale terminal (where chip enabled debit transactions are accepted). The chip generates a unique, one-time code each time you insert your card at a chip-enabled terminal. Your purchase can only be approved with the chip-generated code.
